Miss Eleanor McClaine will give a ’•eview of current events, and Miss ’'bargaret Eean will give a recitation, the nature of wihch is to be a surprise. The program as usual will be con fided with parliamentary drill by the president. James Hill, a wealthy planter of Riverside, California, has offered a arize of $100 to the student of Stan ford or Berkeley who offers the best iresentation of some phase of the in ternational peace problem.

With Moullen, Hug, Pinkham, Jam ison and “Brick” Michael helping Head Coach Warner rejuvenate the Oregon team, the Varsity has im proved a hundred per cent and still has a week to go before the big shaking up. The line seems to be a fixture, but the coaches are not satisfied as yet with the ends and the backfield. Gordon Moores is also ex pected to join the coaching staff the first of the week and the former cap tain and star will work with Jamison and Michael to put out a pair of ends that will be able to cope with Grimm and Sutton of Washington. Only two men, Capt. Main and Latourette, look like permanent fixtures for the first lineup of the backfield. The other two places will be filled by Walker, Heusner, Cobb, Jones, or Kaiser. La tourette’s foot will probably be in shape to do the punting and without Sap doing the kicking, the Varsity will be greatly handicapped. One of the features of the big game will be the struggle between Latourette and Capt. Coyle of Washington for hon ors, as all-Northwest quarterback will probably be decided on the show ing made in the game. Great gobs of silence emenate from the canny Scots camp where the wily Dobie is teaching Bill Coyle what to do when he takes his cigar between the right thumb and forefinger and buttons the third button of his new gray overcoat. The team will be the guest of Man ager G. W. Smith of the Eugene Theatre on next Tuesday evening, when Billy Clifford appears at the local theatre. The team, coaches, trainer and manager will occupy boxes. FRESHMAN WILL HAVE IMPORTANT MEETING MONDAY * _ * The most important meeting of the season will be held by the Freshman class Monday evening at 4 o’clock, in Villard. The purpose of this conclave is to make final arrangements for the monster bonfire which the Frosh will furnish for Thursday night’s rally.

ROOTERS’ FUND MADE UP OF STUDENT SUBSCRIPTIONS The attempt to secure contributions for the rooters fund from the Mer chants’ Association of Eugene has been abandoned and the management will be, content with the money which has been raised among the students. The contributions which the sororities have made to the fund, are especially appreciated. On account of ,the team leaving Friday morning, the date of the rally has been set for Thursday evening, in stead of Friday. All the events which have been announced, will.be pulled off and “Oregon Spirit” will ieign supreme. INCREASE IN SCHOOL Department in Sad Need of Funds to Enlarge School to Meet Demand. “With an increased .enrollment of one hundred over last year, with an efficient staff of instructors and readers,” and with an additional scope of work and influence, the de partment has never been in better condition,” says Dr. Leonard, “except for the scarcity of funds with which to conduct the work.” The plan of the Head of (this de partment of the University is to ob tain an expert in this line of work, who can devote all his time ,to the growing department. But this can not be done, neither can any more courses be added until additional readers can be employed, which j in crease is dependent upon the state ap propriation. As it is, however, one hundred new students have ,been enrolled, making a total of four hundred and eighty that are corresponding with the Uni versity from all parts of the North west. But as each must enroll for two years, the total enrollment does not remain stable throughout the en tire year. The department maintains ( its standard through using as “readers” only students who are perfectly fa miliar with the courses. A new field of usefulness has been acquired through the preparation (of outline courses of study which are used by teachers who have to complete a cer tain course of study. PRESIDENT OF COLORADO U. SPEAKS IN ASSEMBLY Classes were adjourned yesterday morning at 10:30 to enable the Oregon students to attend a special assembly held in honor of President Baker of the University of Colorado. President Baker is a strong advocate of “culture for culture’s sake,” and in his address he deplored the lack of real culture in America. European countries, he said, far, excell the United States in the scholarly attainments of their edu cated classes, and he contended that the American college course is to blame for this deficiency. Harold Broughton registered in col lege last Thursday. Mildred Wilson is a guest at the Lambda Rho House. The University of Washington will open a short course in mining engin | eering on January 4. With the addi tion of $4,000 worth of new machin ery, the course is to be as complete as can be obtained at any institution. Prof. Joseph Daniels, S. B., of the Massachcusetts institute of technol ogv, M. S., of Lehigh, will conduct the course. Tickets for Oregon-Washington game on sale at the Obak Cigar I store. OREGON LAW SCHOOL DISPLAYS SPIRIT IN SUCCESSFUL RALLY PLEA OF CHAS. ROBISON FOR FUNDS ANSWERED TO EX TENT OF FIFTY DOLLARS LAW STUDENTS LOYAL TO UNIVERSITY No Man Must be Able to Talk Above Whisper After Game Say Orators “The Oregon Law School in Port land is showing spirit over the com ing Oregon-Washington game that would put to shame the present spir it displayed on the campus in Eugene,” says Manager Geary, who returned from Portland this morning, where he has been acting in the capacity of football manager. The Law students held a rally and smoker last night, for the purpose of arousing spirit for the University, the success of which is phenomenal. Chas. W. Robison, the old Oregon yell leader and orator, who is responsible for the present college spirit among the “Laws,” led off with a plea for money to advertise the Law Depart ment at the Game, so earnest was this speech that at its close, money from all parts of the room was thrown at the speaker. The sum of fifty dollars is said to have been raised from that small body of men. Robison was folmwed by other men, who spoke on the importance of support for the Oregon team. “Why,” said one man, “if after the game a single student can talk above a whisper, I don’t want to see him. I shall be ashamed of my fellow law student who does not support, with all the enthusiasm of his nature, those eleven men, who for the good of their University and with little personal glory to themselves, train every day for two months and run the risk of personal injury.” Friday, Manager Geary and Chas. Robison, in Aaron Meier’s automobile, were hauled to the High Schools, and at special assemblies spoke in behalf of the University and the coming game. Indications point to hearty support on behalf of the “Prep” schools. 'Phis week Robison will make daily visits to the preparatory schools and drill their rooting bodies on Oregon yells. The High School band has promised to march in the parade, and the “prep” visiting sec tions will give one or two of their own yells between halves. Y. W. C. A. PLANS TO HOLD RECOGNITION BANQUET The Annual Recognition Service and Banquet for the new members of the Y. W. C. A. will be held Monday after noon at 4 o’clock, in the gymnasium. After the service, the meeting will ad journ to the Congregational Church, where the banquet is to be held. The i old members will be charged twenty , five cents for the banquet. Everyone intending to attend, is requested to sign one of the lists posted on the different bulletin boards, so that defin ite arrangements can be made. GOBI) QUITS ALFALFA TRADE PINK COMES OUT OF BRUSH Gordon Moores, ’08, whose deeds of prowess on the football field need no recounting, has forsaken the seclusion of his alfalfa farm and returned to assist in the coaching of the team for their championship struggle. Louis Pinkham has also returned wearing a dainty hirsute appendage. The musical department report that they don’t think so much of whiskers, as thev interfere with a clear tone.
